Scanner traffic was pretty quiet tonight.
I imagine a lot of people were at home and watching the election results. Clearly a lot of people in Lubbock and Texas aren't happy with the results. I say this based on the fact both the state and the county went for Romney and Obama won.
I'd like to say something about how we will come together and work as a single nation to solve our problems. But, then you would think I was talking fairytales or I have been in a cave for the last four years. I honestly don't have a loyalty to either party.

What a well-timed announcement from Colin Powell this morning! Powell is a respected military leader who has experience and credibility. Powell knows firsthand what it’s like to work with self-serving, pathological pretenders. He knows a Romney victory will be a Cheney-Haliburton, Act Two.

That was my favorite line from the Vice-Presidential debates. And there is a “bunch of stuff” that needs to be said on the first day of early voting. Some of it concerns the malarkey that inevitably floats around during an election year, the outlandish hypocrisy of the extreme Religious Right, but the rest is merely suggestion, meant only as food for thought.

We are gathered here to remind President Barack Obama and the rest of our government that the United States of America is our country, We the People are the guardians of our Constitution, we are still in charge of our government, our government is still our servant, and Barack Obama has not yet become our master.
Our Nation’s founding document is The Declaration of Independence. It tells us that our rights come from God and not from our government. Our rights are inalienable. That means they are absolute and cannot be taken from us by anyo

Evan Bayh delivered a decisive and surprisingly hard blow to President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party on Monday morning, President’s Day.
Evan Bayh announced that he will not run as a Democrat for reelection in the US Senate. Bayh announced his decision with little more than 24 hours for another Democrat to run for the seat. Unless Evan Bayh has had a personal emergency in his life, his late decision appears to be simply a strong message in opposition to Obama and the Progressive Left.
With a requirement that 500 voter signatures from each of Indiana’s nine Congressional Distric
